How can China’s 2025 agenda overcome Western doubts?
China’s annual Two Sessions provide a window into the country’s policy direction, governance model, and long-term vision.
As the world anticipates this year’s agendas, discussions are already heating up on key issues: China’s economic trajectory, its governance system, and its leadership in global green development.

This edition also features a special address by K. P. Sharma Oli, prime minister of Nepal, sharing his insights on these crucial topics.Guests in this edition of Global South Voices are Fred M’memb, president of the Socialist Party Zambia; Jose Ricardo, professor at the University of Sao Paulo; Arnaud Bertrand, entrepreneur & sinologist and Mohammed Saqib, convener of the Center of Geoeconomics for the Global South (COGGS).(If you want to contribute and have specific expertise, please contact us at opinions@cgtn.com.
